    This does seem like its probably the best suggestion. I will give it a try this evening. Thx <{POST_SNAPBACK}> So I did the battery thing. It made no difference. I guess I am not really surprised, it seemed a little unlikely that the system worked this way, I would expect that it would average itself out over time. So I am a bit at a loss as to what to do next. I am not much enjoying of the TC coming on in places I know very well it doesnt need to. I also dont really want to go fork out another $1k on a complete new set of tires if I can avoid it. I did check the tire depths, just to make sure. I have about 5mm on the fornts and 7 or so on the backs. So thats probably not it either.

    Yep, they are the N-Rated ones. N2 in fact, though I only knew to look for an N rating.

    The tire pressure is at 42psi, I changed it down from 44 to see if that helped but it made no appreciable difference. Both tires are N-Rated which is as per the reqs for Porsche wheels as far as I know. I dont really know much about the hardness of the rubber. Just that Pilot Sports in general are not regarded as being very hard, hence they wear out pretty quick.

    I assumed that this greasiness was connected to wear. Hence having done 500 miles on them it was unlikely to be a factor?

    Hi all, long time lurker here, now in need of some help. I just replaced the rear tires on my US 2003 C4S. They were previously Michelin Pilot Sports. I replaced them with Pilot Sport 2's, exactly the same dimensions etc. Since replacing them, my Traction Control has been kicking in on one particular corner on my route to work. I am very familiar with this route, always used to take this specific corner at 70, never had the traction kick on. Now even at about 60, the traction kicks on. Obviously this is causing me a little concern, and a bit less trust in the car. I went back to the garage that changed the wheels, they are a good outfit who I trust, they could find nothing obviously wrong. So I wonder if anyone here has some insight?. Some extra info to clarify, I only changed the rears the fronts are still the PS1's, I have put about 500 miles on the tires since changing them, so its unlikley to be new tire wear in issues. The tire shop did suggest that it could be the fact that I didn't change the fronts, but didnt know for sure. Does anyone have experience of this causing such an issue? Could this be an alignment issue? I would appreciate some thoughts. Thx
